I'm a little surprised that none of the articles (in the two answers from the Bricks site) mention a polarizer! It's a good way to reduce shine under certain lighting circumstances.

Yes, but before you go there, you'll have to unlearn writing "legos". Think of it as a rite of passage.

We're all weird, I'll grant you that. But in all seriousness, it's in private beta right now, so you'll have to wait a few days. And you'll be more than welcome, whether you say LEGO bricks or Legos.

There are some articles online specifically oriented towards taking photographs of LEGO creations. Indeed, the reflectivity of the plastic imposes some additional difficulties which you have to be aware of (especially black flat surfaces).

How to photograph a lego (interestingly, this one carries a piece of advice which is not often mentioned: sometimes, exterior light can be way better than whatever setup you can build inside. Depending on your weather, of course, but a bright cloudy day is probably the best lighting ever.)
